Iridescent Head change suggestion

It's no surprise that this add on is beyond strong. So I've come up with an idea I think would fit the add on and nerf it. But still have it relatively strong.

The add-on has the potential to give a lot of time to the killer thanks to the insta downs. So my suggestion is this:

A glass-like Hatchet head moulded from The Fog itself. The blade is warm and reverberating with The Entity's power.

  • Inflicts broken upon the survivor for 45 or 60 seconds (time is to be discussed, it's just an example)
  • Slightly or Moderately increases hatchet travel speed

The broken status effect would help in the sense that it would make it harder for survivors to heal, thus increasing the chance for future easier chases if the survivors act too boldly. E.g using it on a survivor and then going for another or throwing a hatchet on another survivor and continue chase. Would put pressure and aid in potential time saving later on, would increase snowball potential as well. Hatchet travel speed would help a bit as well. Hitting survivors more easily who's farther away to help apply the broken effect and potentially catch the one getting chased off guard.

Would be fitting since it's a glass-like hatchet head made by the entity itself, so a very deep wound or magical effect (broken status effect) would probably make sense to be applied to someone getting hit from such an object. and the glass like head would make it weight less and make it travel faster.


I hope ya like the idea, and I hope to hear your opinions on this idea and maybe some of your own ideas! Wishing y'all a wonderful time! ^W^

    I dont think i would have nearly as much of a problem with iri head if it actually restricted her to a reload after each throw.

    I don't think inflicting Broken really lives up to the standard of what players expect an Ultra Rare to be.

    IMO the instadown effect activating after a specific amount of hatchet travel distance is the most sensible rework suggestion for Iri Head, which a bajillion people have suggested already.

    best thing that they could do for iri head is just make it that the survivor needs to be maybe 30 or 35 meters away and make it so that it trumps all extra hatchet add ons like infantry bel etc .

    They should just keep it the same cause it has a very bad downside you only get one hatchet but the problem is you can use the belt and get 3 insta down hatchets so all they have to do is make it so it Trumps all addons
